Sayoko

• Likes BOOZE- especially saké, men, women, women again, women one more time just for good measure.
• Dislikes cops, tattle-tales and spoil-sports of all kinds, dogs (unless they're quiet and don't bark or get her in trouble).

Current Storyline
Previously a vagabond on the run due to her antics in outside villages, she is seeking refuge in the Geijutsu Shakai thanks to an old friend of hers. Together they form a secret society of ninja and assassin who use their artistry and performance as a cover to hide in plain sight.

Her job is to stir the rumor mill and relay any information that may help the clan and it's goals. Meanwhile, she gets to enjoy all her same old habits- drinking booze, enjoying nice things (nevermind if its stolen goods), and intermingling with the locals. What a perfect way to start a new life, I can't believe I'm getting off this easy!

Background
Notorious in many villages for thieving markets and bumming drinks off of locals. She seems to live a carefree vagabond life and doesn't answer to anyone but her own whims- although many know her to be easily swayed with liquor. When she's not stirring up trouble with townsfolk, she is probably up in the mountains figuring out where to crash next. Despite her reputation, she is mostly good-natured, but access to magic paired with a loose sense of responsibility don't make a favourable combination, at least not by human standards. Her run-ins with law enforcement make her slow to trust others as well.

Although she usually appears with dark hair and nine black tails, she will shift her appearance to blend in with normal humans, hiding her demon features. Most of her magic involves illusions and minor charms, such as the ability to distort her appearance and her surroundings, but also to some degree human thoughts and emotions- and she loves using this to her advantage, especially to beguile unsuspecting men. If she's feeling particularly mischievous, she will take on the veneer of a more favourable divine kitsune to get humans to do her bidding, thinking they will receive a blessing on behalf of the goddess Inari.

Having few responsibilities and a long lifespan gives her all the time in the world to play with humans, and she seems to really enjoy their company, but because of her erratic nature, her actions tend to catch up with her and so it can never last. Aside from being an outlaw, she also has a habit of swearing her undying love and faithfulness to multiple people- sometimes for favours, other times just because she seems to get a kick out of it. She has been forced to flee multiple villages after being discovered.

Origin
She was raised in the forests off the outskirts of a small village by her mother, a pure fox demon. One day her mother didn't return, forcing the child to fend for herself. She would later hear tales of how the villagers had slain a fox for having an affair with a human.
